In a civilised society, the words "medical debt" should be an abomination.
Two women in NY were able to erase $1.5 million in medical debt for hundreds of people. It only cost them $12,500. How did they do it? They partnered with an org called @RIPMedicalDebt and bought the debt from collection agencies and then forgave it.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/05/nyregion/medical-debt-charity-ny.html …

Notice, of course, that even if your $50,000 debt is only "valued" at $1000, you're not allowed to buy it for that much and then forgive it. Only a faceless collections agency (or a corporation like
@RIPMedicalDebt) is allowed to do that. It's ghoulish. -
I don't suppose you could just start your own corporation, buy your own debt and forgive it? hahah

Super awesome! It’s so stinky that they had to go through this process, but that is such a baller move to beat this System fair and square.

If only healthcare in America was considered a human right and not a consumer product. This article is another reason to have Medicare for all.
